Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition released today, for PC only. But here, look at this new cinematic!

Maybe it will make you feel better! It didn't help me.

“Well,” thought an excited me. “I’ve already played Baldur’s Gate on the PC. And I’m playing other PC games at the moment. So I’ll pick up the Enhanced Edition on the iPad, just for a bit of variety.” And I picked up some discounted iTunes vouchers and took them to the counter. I am regretting this decision.

Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition came out today. For the PC (buy it here). It was meant to come out on all platforms at 4AM Sydney time last night. Now, the game has been pushed back by “a week” on the iPad and other platforms since Apple discovered a game crashing bug. And even as of one minute ago, Trent Oster has said they “don’t have a good build for OSX yet”.

So if you were going to pick up Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition tonight, getting it on the PC might be the smartest and quickest. But if you are left in the dark like me, check out the new enhanced version of the original intro cinematic. I don’t know if I agree with ‘enhanced’ though. Even if it was late 90s CGI, the original intro was actually animated. These are still pictures with the original voice overs on them. They look nicer, but I think I’d rather have them moving. Maybe this is just my opinion, maybe you guys will prefer the new one! That is okay, we are all different and unique. And wrong sometimes.
